* Visit the Iowa Department of Revenue website ( https://revenue.iowa.gov/ )and register for an IDR ID. Provide your business information and select the appropriate tax types you report.
Do I need to renew my tax ID number?
No. Once you’ve obtained it, it’s typically valid for the life of your business or organization, as long as you continue to operate and fulfill your tax obligations. However, you must update your information with the IRS if your business structure or ownership changes.

Question:
Answer: These can be quite valuable in mint condition. Damage in art pottery sends it plummeting. Even with damage, you might get $20 for this. Mint they are currently $150-200 for most shapes.
Supplement
Each year the RWCS Executive Director works closely with the Red Wing Republican Eagle staff to produce our annual Convention Supplement. This resource is the main source of information during the Convention in Red Wing. It includes a schedule of activities, education session, as well as articles on what is going on in the Red Wing Collectors Society.
The Convention Supplement will be available online after the Convention. This information is available beginning with the 2006 Supplement.
